This past week we had Vacation Bible School at church every evening 6-8PM.
The theme was “Let’s Build an Ark”
Hence the construction tape and animal masks.
This was my class.
Pre-K Class
Each evening we sang songs, had a 30 minute class where we learned some stories from the Bible, then had snack…
played outside,
and then did a craft. A very full two hours (and a very busy week)!
Animals for the Ark
The Spy helping to build the model ark. That guy who is helping is 90 years young!

Fini
God keeps his promises
…never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” Genesis 9:11
A rainbow is a sign of God’s promise never to destroy the earth with a flood again (Genesis 9:12-17). The caveat: with a flood. Hahhaha;)
On the last night the kids sang the songs they learned to the parents:
Singing
“Once when the world was very, very bad
God made it rain, rain, rain, rain rain” *
*excerpt from one of the world’s most catchy VBS songs. Haha
We have a tradition at our VBS where there is a water balloon fight on the last night.
There were about seven big bins full of water balloons!
Ready…
Go!
Quite congruent with the flood-theme!
Splash Action
For the elders (and photographers! haha)
Baby
I love the serendipity in the image of baby blowing bubbles where she has captured The Spy in one of her bubbles. Lovely stuff :). Always good to see a pastor willing to get down on his knees to kid level :). Baby, apart from her seeming unwillingness to get wet, appears to be violating the no splash zone. Good girl…sometimes you just have to be willing to burst a few balloons to make a point ;)
I know I love that bubble shot! ;)
Spy in a bubble…sort of like a non threatening non violent James bond movie beginning ;)
Looks like a lot of fun! I like the Spy’s wind up – all that pitching practice put to good use! :-D
